You're hunting a monster that has a rare drop unique to it that Jagex decided to let the ROW influence. The ring shines brightly whenever it makes an attempt to influence rare drops, be they monster unique drops (whip, claws, Nex armour, sigils etc) or rare drop table drops (gems, key halves etc). When you're killing a slayer monster that Jagex deems has a desirable drop (Abyssals, Nechryael etc), the ring shines all the time, improving your odds of a desirable item for that one kill (whips, rune boots in this case). Against other monsters, the ring only shines when you have made it to the rare drop table first, and then it does what it used to do (remove some the null drops from the rare drop table for that one kill). Keeping in mind that, for some monsters a "no drop" is, for all intents and purposes, a "rare drop" ... :rolleyes: Actually, all the "no drops" are on the rare drop table. Yes -- which means that, when your ring shines more brightly you could, in fact, be getting "no drop" at all ... Which goes a long way to explaining the quality of *my* drops. <_<

Neither of which team has managed to assail their goaltending issues, either ... :unsure:

Meh -- most of that 71 comes from Tears ... :???: I'm pretty much good with a lot of the Dunge work itself, but there are a number of things I really don't comprehend. "Prestige" being one of them for sure. I am totally clueless about that aspect of the skill. I'll take a boo at the links you posted -- thanks for this. As I said, my biggest stumbling block to group/team dunge is that many people makes my computer come to a screeching lag-fest halt. It's brutal. Yes -- I know -- a new computer would be helpful. I may wait till I can get that first. If anyone else has more input, I'd be glad to read it. Thanks. <3:

Jacques Lemaire is amazing. Seriously. He can take a noting team going nowhere and turn it into a solid team. Of course, he learned his craft at the feet of the Hockey Coaching (Jedi) Master: Scotty Bowman.

Are there links for these guides, or are they easily findable? :unsure:

How much funds do you keep in your kingdom at any given time? Do you go daily and keep your approval rating up? How often do you go and claim your reward?

I've only one friend who actually "likes" to DG, but she's the "do it all to max her own xp" type. Which means that, while she's dragging in huge XP each floor, I am not getting very much. She's also not very good in the communicating aspect of the game.

Okay – so I've just finished getting 99 Herby (was only going to get 96, but hey, bxpw came along and I had enough stuff for 99 :thumbsup:), and now I think the next step to becoming a "badass boss killa" is to get my Dungeoneering up ... Here's my stats: Yes? No? If so, where can I find a "definitive" guide to Dungeoneering? And yes, I know there's the knowledge-base and RS Wiki, but what I really want is a guide that actuall explains this [cabbage], not some discombobulated collection of wild opinions and Jagex's "doublespeak". My own preference is not to rush Dungeons, and I am not much use in large groups – mainly because (a) I don't really know a lot about Dungeoneering and (b) my computer is positively lag-happy everytime I get into a dungeon with three or more people in it. -.- Your advice would be gratefully appreciated ...

Hey -- it worked for PKers ... :rolleyes:

Cant beat them, join them is the philosophy behind what I said. Jagex has been spitting on skillers since Barrows came out (really the first time to my knowledge that killing was extremely overpower money making compared to skilling) and its only gotten exponentially worse since. So why dont you step out of the swimming pool of Jagex's spit and join the killers and the merchents This may well be the case of two rights making a wrong. Seriously. You're both "right" – but neither of you is absolutely right. While I, too, a traditional skiller, am annoyed that Jagex has made consistent efforts, time and again, to turn Runescape into little more than a "boss-killer bonanza", it is abundantly clear that THAT is the trend that they intend to follow. There has not been a decent "skill" update that comes to mind in a long whilem save and except those updates which will allow to further the process of "boss killing". There, really, is no point in trying to be a skiller anymore. You cannot make sufficient cash at any given skill to maintain your other skill training. The only way to make the money needed to train skills is to boss kill. Even Dungeoneering (which isn't a "skill") is more oriented to boss killing than anything else. Sure, you need to have good skill levels in all your skills for it, and yes you can train numerous skills – but the end result of DG is to obtain the goodies that will allow you to become a better boss killer. *sighs* As a result, I personally have decided to go over to the "dark side" (they have cookies!) and become a boss killer too. They way I figure it, boss killing will give me the cash to buy certain skills, anyways ... ------------------=============------------------- On a side note: I spent last night killing Wyverns (I needed the bones for Super Prayer pots) and after every kill my RoW would "glow more brightly" -- to my knowledge, I did not obtain anything out of the usual last night, except perhaps a few more crimson charms than may be usual. :rolleyes: ------------------=============------------------- Also -- I highly recommend to *everyone* that they take the time and head over to the pubs in either Mos or Port Sarim, and have a listen to the new Shanties. They're terrible! Gawd awful! Which means their freaking awesome and hilarious!!!!! :lol:

I can't see anything wrong with his explanation and he clearly states Jagex's reasoning for not doing a rollback. But if you feel it is enough to leave the game over, well, goodbye I guess? Add it to the long list of failures which Jagex have produced recently. Poorly produced quests, hand-held gameplay, the wilderness, etc etc. I'd rather save my £3.20 a month. Yeah, instead of all these thousands of hours of gameplay Jagex provide you can (almost) buy a McDonalds once a month! Now now -- there's no need to get disgusting ... :unsure:

LOL -- wasn't that a line in "Deliverance"? *giggles* Honestly though, nice graphical update. My only disappointment was that I went to work today ... -.-

Phr33 st0of pl0x! #-o

^THIS^ ... and to think, I almost stayed home today ... *facepalm* #-o #-o I didn't get the hour of make up row ing....is there a coupon somewhere? I agree. I've always wanted a spirit shield with a sigil on it. :( *RAIN CHECK*!!!! :P

^THIS^ ... and to think, I almost stayed home today ... *facepalm*

Meh -- whenever any male asks to be "friends" with me, it's usually followed with a demand for "money pl0x" ... :rolleyes:

:lol:

I don't share your "faith" in the Shark's goaltending ...

No one. NO ONE is going to agree to give money to crack addicts. Protip: Stop using moral conflict. It doesn't work for those who have a strong enough will on their own. Your problem is that you don't understand the benefits that befall a population when you actually realize what's important to humanity. There are basic rights that are essential to humanity. These rights are, sadly, not guaranteed to all -- even in the United States: The Right to Sustenance (food, water). Sadly, in many places, people are denied this most basic of rights. In the end, it is this very base human right that is the source of the vast majority of crime within one's borders. The Right to Education: we are moving away from a world of "have and have not" to a world of "know and know not". In a time of information super-highways and international exchanges of ideas in a time when a "Facebook" generation is creating possibly dramatic changes in the Middle East, for example, knowledge is supplanting wealth as the mechanism of change. The right to opportunity. Even the poorest of the poor has enormous potential and creativity. Without education and opportunity, all that potential is lost. The right to peace. If you stopped spending money on weapons and military expenses, and spent it on education, imagine how much peace and prosperity you could buy? Once you made the efforts to improve the world around you -- you'd find that you wouldn't "need" a gun so much ... :rolleyes:

Shh! You've already said too much! :unsure:

Funny -- I thought that it was their "greed" that scammers feed off ... Well. Greed and stupidity. :rolleyes: Never hear a dice host nudging someone to "try again!", claiming they had "unlucky" rolls? They feed off optimism, I'm tellin' ya. Do they use phrases like "Big money, no whammies" ... ? :rolleyes:

Well -- you shouldn't be passing "free wind" during a party anyways ... <_<

Perhaps they could use the failed "Mechscape" as a basic model? :unsure:
